The Casa D’Erba Story

Nonno Vinny’s ancestors immigrated to America at the turn of the century and established themselves in the grocery business in the Italian east side of Buffalo, New York. Back then, everyone cooked food from scratch and Vinny enjoyed delivering groceries and fresh produce with grandpa. After his military service he went on to open his first pizzeria and grew that into a group of Italian restaurants and brought his renowned recipes to Phoenix where he won peoples choice for best pizza.

I was always afraid to make my own marinara because I did not know what spices to use or in what amounts, but with Casa D’Erba there is no guess work. Just empty the package and follow directions. Boy was it easy and DELICIOUS!

FINALLY! I live in California but grew up on the East Coast. No matter what anyone tells you – there aint NO SUCH THING as New York style pizza here. There is edible pizza, even good pizza – but nothing like home. No Italian food comes anywhere near what we get on the dirty side. So when I saw this, I remembered Mineo’s so I ordered – just to see. OMG the smell when this box arrived – even before I took the box out of the Amazon cardboard box I could smell the Italian seasoning. Then for 2 days whenever anyone would come in the house they said “Mmmmm, what are you making?” and I had not opened the seasoning yet. When I did finally get a chance to use this – Yous guys would not believe how good it was.

The bread dipping seasoning and the included olive oil – it will break your mouth it is so good. Make sure you get a really good loaf of Italian bread when you make it because it is incredible. The Italian seasoning made my lasagna. Seriously, I could have used Alpo with this seasoning and we all still would have loved it. (Do not actually try that). All I am saying is that I got credit for a meal that I can’t in good conscience take full credit for because it was definitely these seasonings.

I could go on and on. You’re gonna die when you taste this, it is just so much like back home that I am sending it to my family in New York proudly for Christmas.
